So, [Grunts]
I was watching this movie with my dad last night. [Grunts]
It was about a quaint suburban town
that was taken over by alien clones!
It was pretty scary. I didn't close my eyes, though.
Anyway, it got me thinking --
what are we gonna do if aliens pretend to be us?
Hmm. I have a plan to protect us
from mole people and bees, but not alien clones.
Interesting.
Suspiciously interesting, Craig.
If that is your real name!
Paintball Mike: Oh! Aah!
Ooh, that hurts!
The 7th graders just ambushed my patrol unit.
Caught a paintball right in the arm.
It left the juiciest welt ever.
Wanna see?
Paintball Mike, I think I speak for everyone here
when I say that sounds disgusting,
please show it to us right now.
Since you asked for it...
got ya!
[ Buzzer ]
-[ Raspberries ] -What just happened?
It's the circle game!
You look at the circle, you lose! [Raspberries]
[ Chuckles ] That's actually pretty funny.
[ Chuckles ] I'm so good at this game.
Hey, Sailor Boy! Check out my new anchor tattoo!
[ Raspberries ]
Sailor Boy: Oh! Good show, old boy!
Uh, what was it we were talkin' about again?
All I remember is that I was yelling.
You guys! I -- I think Mortimer might be a clone!
[ Both gasp ]
Look at what's on his...
back!
Ha ha hahaha! [ Raspberries ]
That was good! [ Laughs ]
Oh, JP!
I think you got something behind your ear.
[ Raspberries ]
[ Laughs ]
Uh-oh, I laughed so hard
I busted the seat of my pants! [ Raspberries ]
This is the greatest game ever!
This is never gonna get old!
[ Buzzers buzzing ]Look! Look at my hand!
[ All raspberrying ]Ah! Why are you doing this?
You spit all over my candy!
Wow, this game really blew up, huh?
Boom! Gotcha, haha!
[ Raspberries ]
What? She -- she just shoved it in our face.
Where is the artistry?!
Well, at least the trading tree seems to be doing good business.
-What are you trading? -[ Raspberries ]
That's it!
Y'all don't wanna trade, then neither do I!
Me and my snacks are outta here!
[ Raspberries ]
[ All gasp ]
The circle game has gotten in the way of food.
It is officially out of hand.
Someone should tell everyone to stop!
Who? This is the creek.
Nobody tells anyone what to do.
That's what makes it better than the rest of the world.
Well, it doesn't seem better right now.
Alexis: Okay, so it's decided.
Next year, we're proposing vegan options for the cafeteria menu.
Next on the student council agenda,
the fundraiser for the homecoming dance.
We surpassed our financial goal,
so Amina is proposing we donate the extra money to charity.
The Perfect Puppies for Public Health and Education.
The money goes to little puppies dressed up as firefighters
to help educate children about health and safety.
Aah! They're so cute!
They are so cute. Let's take a vote.
All in favor, raise your hand.
Gibson...
I still think we should rent a photo booth for the dance.
-Aagh! -Come on, man!
Alexis: How many times are we going to go over this!
They had one at my cousin's wedding,
and it had props and mustaches.
Look at this. I don't usually look like this.
How many time are you gonna bring up your cousin's wedding!
Nobody knows your cousin!
I'm not trying to cause problems.
But the dance will be so much more fun
if we have a photo booth.
Or a bounce house. Or photo booth bounce house.
We'll live like kings!
Dang, Gibson, good point.
You know what Vice Principal Monico said.
We have to come to a unanimous decision.
U-nam-inous...
What does that mean?
Look, girl, I'm not tryin' to get in y'alls way to slay.
I think a photo booth is like litty and everything,
but the photo booth only benefits us,
and the charity's dope and it's a good cause
and that benefits everyone.
That's my lil' two cents.
I got into a different university than all y'all
and I'm not tryin' to mess with any of y'all next year.
Bye.
What're they gonna do?!
Listen, Gibson, spending this money
on a photo booth is shortsighted.
Being on this council gives us the power
to change our school and our community.
Let's use our power for good.
-Here here. -I love that!
Karris: Okay, yeah, whatever. That works. Wow!
Fine. I'm in. Those puppies are pretty cute.
-That was very moving. -Oh, hey!
Before everybody goes, you should take some pizza home...
-Hey! -Gah!

Welcome, everyone, to the first meeting

We've gathered from all corners of the creek as equals,
to help make the creek a better place.
Joining us today, we have the Sewer Queen,
representing the sewer kids and their waters,
Yustice, speaking for the Ninja Kids,
Jason, representing the Forest Scouts...
[ Blows whistle ]...Cannonball, for the 10 Speeds,
Paintball Mike, representing all the players
in Rainbow Alley, then we have Kit, representing
the creek economy, Wildernessa, for all wildlife,
and the Junk Lord, for all junk,
Eliza, representing the Tea Timers,
Wren, representing science,
and, uh, Bobby...
representing, uh...
c-candy?
I'm your best friend, Craig.
I'm here for you.
Although we're all free to play as we want at the creek,
many of our games have rules.
It's what separates us from the animals.
[ Grumbles ]
But I -- I think even animals
could agree the circle game needs rules.
Would anyone like to propose a rule?
Sewer Queen: I would!
You shouldn't be able to make a circle above the water
when someone is floating underneath.
If they stay underwater, they could drown!
And we probably don't want kids to drown.
Okay, no, circle game underwater.
And no circle gaming during very important business transactions.
And no shoving a circle in someone's face
when they're trying to do a 360!
It happened to me, and I only did a 180.
It was the worst, man.
180s are the worst, got it.

Kelsey: No circling and driving,
you must circle with a real hand,
not a picture or artist's rendering,
no circling by force, and lastly,
the circle must be presented below the waist.
Any circle from above does not count.
[ Raspberries ]Okay, let's vote.
All those in favor of the Circle Game Doctrine, raise your hand.

[ Raspberries ]
[ All gasp ]
I think the game is fine as is.
I don't see why we need any of these rules.
Now, personally, I've never been circle gamed.
From where I stand?
If you get circle gamed, you deserve to get a raspberry!
Girl: How could you say that? Are you serious?!
Paintball Mike, I -- I understand what you're saying,
but a-actually I don't.
What's your problem?
The circle game has fully taken over the creek, it's been years!
Why change it, it's part of the creek's history!
It's only been a couple days!
You can't get away with this forever, Paintball Mike!
Eventually someone's gonna get you like this!

I'm immune.

Bernard? Can I come in?
No one's eating your cookie cat, Craig!
I'm not here to talk cookie cats.
I'm here to talk politics.
Go on.
See, there's this crazy circle game taking over the creek.
Mmm, yes, the circle game. I don't know what that is.
Don't explain it to me.
It was fun at first, but then everyone took it too far.
So, I decided to start a creek council
since I saw you guys doing your student council.
But there's one kid,
Paintball Mike, who doesn't think the circle game is bad
and I'm worried it's gonna ruin the creek!
Craig, your problem is dumb. So dumb.
But forming a creek council was smart!
Unfortunately, the only way for some people to see
that something is a problem,
is if they are affected by it themselves.
Hmm.
You need to show this po' boy Mike
why circle game is annoying.
Then, hopefully he'll come around.
[ Sighs ] Thanks, Bernard.
I think -- I think I know what I have to do.
One last thing, did you eat my cookie cat?
I did, Craig. I definitely did.
With this cache of paint grenades,
the 7th graders' days are numbered.
Gotcha! Hahaha! [ Raspberries ]
Bobby: Hey, over here!
Kit's got a bunch of candy that expires tomorrow,
and she's giving it away for free!
-Candy! -Hey, what, where y'all goin'?!
A true paintballer never abandons his post!
Pfft, who needs candy when you've got expired
military rations? Mm!
Just like Dad used to microwave.

It was unfair and annoying, and I hate this!
So, you agree there should be some rules?
Now that it's affected me in a negative way, yes.
